Best NYFW Men's Hairstyle Trends

Leave The Played Out Hairstyles Behind And Try One Of These NYFW Cuts Instead

The Spring/Summer 2017 New York Fashion Week: Men's event has come and gone, and I'm here to share all the trendiest hairstyles with you and show you the latest products, techniques, and cuts that will take your grooming game to the next level.

We witnessed many stylists and many different looks, with a heavy emphasis on individuality, but nonetheless some trends emerged. Hair length seems to be less of a deciding factor, with more versatile styles that work with long or short hair. Volume and texture took on new prominence, with stylists playing up these attributes to suit the person first and the style second. What does this mean for you? If your hair is naturally curly, there's no more need to force those curls into submission; if it's naturally straight, no longer will you be forced to curl in the service of style. This season, there is no one "right" way to style, no one length or texture you need to adopt. The overwhelming message of the show was one of individuality: do what's right for you.

Happy Hour Ready

Joseph W. Iannitti

If you're looking for a great style that easily transitions from work to weekend, this is it. The Bumble and bumble team created a relaxed hairstyle that feels fresh and modern while maintaining a timeless appeal.

Ask your stylist for: A razored cut to play up your natural texture — this look works nicely on wavy or curly hair. You'll want some length all around — with more on top — balanced by volume on the sides and back.

Products to use: Use a light yet cleansing shampoo and conditioner such as Bumble and bumble's seaweed. Apply some Bumble and bumble tonic lotion and finger comb your hair for movement. Let it air dry and finish with the brand's BB City Swept Finish hair spray.

Deceptively Effortless

The styles seen at EFM Menswear are perfect for active guys who admire unfused perfection. This cut looks put-together but still has a cool vibe.

Ask your stylist for: You and your stylist need to decide on the exact length for your life and hair type. You will want a lot of texture — great razoring techniques are called for here. Length in front is very trendy, and here it is balanced by volume on the sides.

Statement Hair

Ask your stylist for: Stylist John Ruidant says this cut is perfect for men with medium-length hair. The cut relies on a softened perimeter with layers — not volume — to promote texture.

Products to use. Apply AXE Spiked-Up Look styling putty on wet hair and comb your hair forward so it lays tightly on your head. Once your hair is dry, use small amounts of AXE Smooth Look pomade on your ends to control frizziness.

Products to use: Apply salt spray on towel-dried hair for texture. Add some sheen with AXE's Natural Look cream. This will also play up the texture. Let your hair dry and comb it into place with your fingers.

The "New England Road Trip" Look

Products to use: Towel dry your hair, then apply some Natural Look Pomade. Comb through and create a side part, then allow your hair to air dry. When your hair is dry, loosen the top locks, allowing some to fall onto your forehead.
